    Outstanding for Wedding Room Block

    The Westin Governor Morris was absolutely an outstanding hotel for us and our out of town guests to stay for our daughter’s wedding weekend.
    Even though our daughter was married in our hometown church in Bernardsville and had reception at the Mansion at Natirar, the majority of our guests staying at the hotel (131) traveled to New Jersey from all over New England, North Carolina, Illinois,Florida, California and even Norway. We knew having a great place for them all to stay was incredibly important and was one of the first things we booked when she got engaged. Our wedding planners, Peony Events, highly recommended the Westin Governor Morris and they were so right! Our meetings with Christina were so reassuring and we knew we were in good hands. We booked Welcome Drinks at the Blue Morel, planned a Farewell Breakfast, reserved the Presidential Suite and a large room block including several rooms for us. Christina kept us updated on reservations and helped us increase the block since so many guests were booking early. Christina also took care of reserving 3 motor coaches to take our hotel guests to and from the reception, which was included with the room block, such a wonderful perk of staying at the Westin.
    Everything went fantastic the weekend of the wedding from the drop off of 80 Welcome Bags (thanks Narissa!), the Welcome Drinks for over 100 guests (thanks Kevin!), smooth transportation to and from reception (thanks A-1) and a fabulous breakfast on Sunday to end the weekend wedding celebration!
    The service was outstanding all around! Many thanks to Christina and the staff of the Westin. We would highly recommend the Westin Governor Morris!

    Excellent Hotel for Room Blocks

    We used the Westin Governor Morris for our wedding room block this weekend and we were more than satisfied. We worked with Christina throughout the entire process and she was fantastic. She helped us through postponing our wedding and getting a couple of last minute guests their rooms. The hotel is gorgeous and extremely clean. The junior suite was spacious enough for seven bridesmaids and the moms to get ready, and it was conveniently located to our venue (Basking Ridge Country Club). We highly recommend this hotel!

    Great Experience, Highly Recommend!

    My new wife and I recently partnered with The Westin Governor Morris for our wedding block, and they were incredibly helpful + easy to work with. Christina and the full Westin team made our entire process as frictionless and positive as possible. Her team quickly accommodated last minute changes, and truly contributed to making our wedding the success that it was. The hotel is going above and beyond with safety protocols to ensure that all guests feel both welcome and protected. The rooms themselves are beautiful, clean, recently updated, and spacious (not to mention reasonably priced). All of our guests had a seamless experience with their stay, and commented on how friendly the full staff were.

    The hotel itself has a beautiful lobby with a bar, and is also located in a convenient location, right next to major highways as well as close to activities in town. It boasts a large parking lot, and a classic structural design.

    If getting married in the area highly recommend The Westin Governor Morris!

    Thank you!

    Christina at the Westin Governor Morris deserves a shout-out for being so helpful through our long two year process. Christina was there for every question and concern. She was so helpful when we had to postpone our wedding from August 2020 to August 2021. She and Emile were wonderful when time was getting closer and my endless requests for the hotels that were booked seemed daily. Thank you for all of your help and support. Everything went wonderfully the whole weekend! From our hotel bags, to our stunning presidential suite and junior suite to the shuttle back and the breakfast the morning after. Thank you for everything!

    Wedding Room Block 9/12/19

    My Husband and I booked our room block with the Westin. The staff that we dealt with over there were all so helpful, professional, and kind. Kelly helped us out throughout our entire process, she was so helpful and replied quickly with any questions I had. Kelly helped us by recommending places for our rehearsal dinner, she helped book our farewell breakfast the morning after the wedding, and keeping our room block organized. I can't say enough good things about The Westin and their staff, 5 stars from us!

    Accomdating, clean, professional

    We used the Westin Governor Morris for our room block on labor day weekend. We worked with Kelly and she was wonderful from the first day when we took a tour of the hotel. She answered every email I had with reassurance. We worked with Emily for reservations and she made everything stress free. The hotel was not only aesthetically beautiful but clean and accommodating.

    Excellent Hotel

    I used The Westin Governor Morris for my wedding hotel block for 3 nights and I couldn't have been happier. Kelly, the sales manager, is the best. She answered my endless questions very quickly and was extremely helpful in setting up the room block, and help arranging transportation for my wedding guests. The hotel was accommodating to any and all changes I made leading up to our weekend. The front desk staff is warm, welcoming, and there to help with all your needs!

    The rooms are large and the beds are so comfortable. The hotel has been refurbished so the bathrooms are clean and new.

    The front lobby was decorated beautifully for the holidays and our morning after breakfast was set up so well, it could have been a wedding! The food in the Blue Morel restaurant is delicious and the staff are extremely attentive.

    I can't say enough GREAT things about this place, highly recommended.

    Great hotel for wedding, business, all the above!

    I booked a wedding block here for 30 rooms and all my guests said they thoroughly enjoyed the hotel. Clean rooms, professional staff (especially Kelly B. in reservations, call and ask for her, she's the best), and great restaurant/bar attached to the lobby. End your search here. Highly recommended!

    Great Service!

    We held our wedding reception at the Westin. With nearly 75% of our guests coming in from out of town, holding the reception at a hotel made the most sense for us. We worked with Joyce from beginning to end. She was great and the whole process was painless! She worked with us on all of the details including food, table settings, timing, and any questions we came up with she answered. Any last minute changes she helped with and accommodated. We received SO many amazing comments from our guests. They loved the hotel, the food, and the wait staff and bartenders. Everything turned out beautifully! We owe that to Joyce, Pedro, and Julio for all of their hard work!

    Just perfect!

    We are so glad we decided to have our wedding hotel block at the Westin Governor Morris! The hotel is beautiful and is in a great location close to downtown Morristown. Their staff, especially Kelly, was always patient and kind throughout the planning process. My husband and I are appreciative of all of their help in making our wedding weekend feel truly special!

    We held our room block at the Westin Governor Morris and were extremely happy with the service as well as the rooms. They were very easy to work with and the hotel itself is beautiful. My wife and I stayed in the suite given to us for reserving such a large block of rooms and it was absolutely fantastic. Good prices overall too -- would highly recommend Kelly B and the Westin to anybody who asks!

    We hosted our entire wedding weekend at the Westin Governor Morris from June 8 - 10 and cannot say enough about the venue and the team. It was beyond incredible! We had a large guest list (approx 260) with many out of towners, and early on knew that we wanted to simplify logistics as much as possible. We were able to host a full weekend of events all on site at the Westin: the rehearsal dinner, a welcome reception, cocktail hour, dinner reception, after party, and welcome brunch. The hotel is quite large and really stunning, so we were able to host each event in a unique space with different menus, room layouts, decor and music. We also had our room block there, so our guests absolutely LOVED having so many events without having to travel anywhere. In addition, we had large suites for the bridesmaids and groomsmen to get ready on site. Julie, Jabari, Joyce and all of the others were worked with were a dream team, making all of these events and many, many details come together so seamlessly. They were so friendly and responsive, and had so many great ideas and suggestions that we were able to incorporate. And the food was incredible, we are still getting compliments about the amazing food choices that were available at pretty much every turn! Thank you for making our wedding weekend beyond all of our greatest expectations!

    We used the Westin Governor Morris for our hotel block for our wedding. The customer service was amazing throughout the entire process. We had a very large group and they were constantly able to accommodate changes and additional room needs. They also helped coordinate and host our welcome drinks, after party and farewell brunch. Everything was perfect. Kelly and the whole team at the Westin are awesome and I would highly recommend them!

The hotel was clean, service was great, and the location was perfect for traveling to our venue !

    We worked with Kelly at the Westin Governor Morris to coordinate our room block for our wedding weekend. We chose the Westin for our room block because of the quality and the fact that they provided seamless shuttle service for guests to and from our wedding venue. Our wedding was during Labor Day Weekend so I was concerned that it would be difficult for guests to book rooms, but Kelly made the process extremely easy. She was always easy to reach and responded to all questions immediately. We even ended up hosting our farewell brunch at the hotel - the room was beautiful and the food was excellent. Every part of the process was seamless and the hotel provided top notch service from start to finish. I would highly recommend this hotel for a wedding room block and brunch!

    My husband and I began our search in the North Jersey area since we had family traveling from New England. I decided to do a venue visit based off of other brides' reviews online, who raved about the Westin Governor Morris. The hotel property, ballroom, and the lobby were all beautiful!! I knew right away that this was the venue we would host our reception in. Our guests still to this day tell us how beautiful the reception was and how awesome the Westin was. Everything from the check in process, to the food /drinks at cocktail hour & dinner, the after party and the farewell breakfast were 'all perfect' in the words of our guests. We knew that booking the Westin was the best decision, as not only was the venue beautiful, but the convenience factor for our guests could not be topped. The room block, wedding reception, after-party, and farewell breakfast the following morning were all hosted under the same roof! I truly think that because of this, the energy of the party and of our guests never died down throughout the weekend. We have the Westin to thank for that !

    Family & friends LOVED the two-tier ballroom in the Westin -- it added another space to mingle and socialize with other guests. The chandeliers were beautiful, and the ballroom itself was a neutral color, perfect for any bride who wants to use the color of her wish!

    We were thrilled at the level of service we received throughout the entire process. Julie was a great face for the Westin - she is awesome to work with - in the wedding and hospitality industry there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes, and it requires a lot of teamwork in order for the wedding venue to execute. The Westin did not disappoint, and their team showed us that they were there to make your wedding a success!!! Pedro and Julio also made sure our reception, after party, and farewell breakfast went off w/o a hitch!! Brides - if you are looking for a beautiful venue look no further & book The Westin Governor Morris!!!

    Our wedding was a traditional Indian wedding with almost 400 people, so managing the event was not easy. Although the wedding was in Morristown, NJ, I lived in Northern Virginia so a lot of communication between the senior catering manager, Julie, and I was via email and phone. Nonetheless we were able to connect often to exchange all pertinent information. She never once said anything like "I'm not supposed to do that" or "Thats not my job." She double and triple checked every detail - it was clear that the hotel staff knew what they were doing. Kelly was very easy to work with when it came to hotel room booking. The hotel staff made sure we were fed :-) Overall, my family and I felt we were in very capable hands through the majority of this process. We're very thankful to making our day a wonderful time for everyone! My comments: 1) After the ceremony, there was no direction on where guests should proceed to for post ceremony snacks, so 350ish people were quite confused. I got flustered a bit seeing that and wondered why no one was there because we needed to stay in the ceremony hall for pictures with our families. By the time guests reached the post ceremony reception, food was already gone because earlier guests took many items, much more than they should have. I don't know whose fault this falls upon, but if someone else was there to direct people, it would've worked better. 2) Along the same lines for cocktail hour and dinner. People crowded to one side of the food area while the other side was completely open. People later saw there was another side and it did even out. 3) The Bride's family and groom's family rooms should have been on the second floor so the elevator piece is eliminated and easy access to each halls. 4) In the midst of everything we were re-told the hospitality room for the bridesmaids to make\change etc. We hardly addressed the detail but it could have been beneficial

    We used the Westin Governor Morris as the hotel for our guests for our wedding on July 28, 2017. It is such beautiful hotel with a gorgeous lobby and great rooms. I worked with Kelly the months in preparation for our wedding and she was extremely helpful throughout the entire experience. She was so accommodating and always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have had. The complimentary shuttle for our guests to the Park Savoy and back was so appreciated! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone getting married in the area!

    Joyce and team were incredibly helpful and made the day an amazing success. Great facilities and perfect choice particularly given our many out of town guests who were able to stay at the hotel and our need to have a kosher menu.

    The Westin Governor Morris in Morristown, NJ was the perfect venue for my daughter’s wedding. The wedding took place the Sunday night of Memorial Day Weekend, 2017. We couldn’t be more pleased with the entire wedding! We had many, many out-of-town guests, and the hotel accommodated them all – we ended up with 75 rooms booked! We worked with Kelly Bartolome regarding the room block, starting one year prior. She held the “bridal nook” for the wedding party – which was the perfect location for our after party. It consisted of the very large hospitality suite connected to a junior suite (2 room suite) on each side. We had access to the hospitality suite the night before the wedding, and all day on the day of the wedding, for hair and makeup, and for the after party. The service at the Westin was outstanding in every way. Julie Olsen, our catering manager, was great to work with. She was extremely responsive, and helpful. Great attention to detail – I didn’t even need a party planner. The hotel is beautiful – it’s historic, but has been restored so everything is top notch. The front lobby, the ballroom, the chandeliers – all gorgeous! All our guest commented on how they loved the hotel. Morristown itself is a great area. Since it was a 3 day weekend, many of our guests enjoyed going into town, or to the Morristown Museum, or to the nearby Arboretum. Of course, many just wanted to relax at the Westin’s large outdoor pool.Overall, I’d highly recommend this venue. It’s perfect if you have people flying into Newark airport – less than a half hour by Uber or cab.Great location for NJ, great customer service, and, I almost forgot, phenomenal food! From the filet mignon to the mushroom risotto, to the fresh sushi at the cocktail party, everything was fantastic! Really good quality. And priced very reasonably! Literally no complaints about this venue. It was a great wedding. My guests were telling me it was the best wedding they’ve every been to!

    We used the Westin for our hotel block and post wedding brunch! Kelly was great to work with - very responsive and flexible as we tried to keep adjusting our hotel room block. Everyone also loved the brunch there and it was very convenient for our venue. I would highly recommend!

    The Westin was home base for our son’s bar mitzvah. We booked a block of rooms for our guests, held the reception there, as well as a welcome dinner on Friday night and farewell breakfast Sunday morning.

    All weekend, operations were seamless. The staff was professional and friendly. The food high quality, beautifully presented, and delicious.

    Our guests were delighted with the abundance and variety of food during cocktail hour. Even before going into the ballroom, there was a sense of fun and excitement. We knew from the tasting that the adult dinner was going to be excellent. I heard that the kids' buffet was great and the dessert buffet legendary ! The coffee and cordials bar, the doughnut factory and the candy buffet all helped to cushion the blow of the party ending.

    It was a distinct pleasure to work with Joyce. She is a consummate professional who radiates warmth and kindness. Her experience, effectiveness, responsiveness, and calm were so appreciated by this first-time Mitzvah mom. I would definitely choose the Westin again !
